I was looking for an early morning round to kick off my weekend and found a 6:36am tee time at Riverbend at a great price. I checked in just before 6:30 and the pro shop told me that I had the option to wait for the other golfers to show or go off if I was ready, so I teed it up and headed out. As the first one out I got to watch the course crew do their work, but they didn’t slow me down as I finished in 2 hours and 20 minutes (walking). The greens were in great condition as were the fairways even with all of the rain that we have had in the area. A great way to kick off my weekend!

I found this tee time last minute and was paired with 3 other singles. The course was in decent conditions with the tee boxes pretty well used, the green very slow and bumpy as they were recently punched/sanded, and some puddles on the course. The pace of play was excellent as we finished in 3:25, despite waiting for 5 min to tee off on the par-3 13th.

I booked a Saturday morning round late on Friday night and got a good deal. The course was in decent condition with most of the course fairly dry. The pace of play was slower than what I expected for a 7:12am round as the 3-some in front of us were slow on the greens, but they eventually picked up their pace of play (no groups in front of them), but it took us over 4:15 to complete our round. The beverage cart was out, which has been a rarity of late. Overall a good round.

My neighbors and I decided to try to get out for a December round since the forecast was favorable. The course was wet due to recent rains so we weren’t able to take the power carts off the cart paths. As such, the pace of play was pretty slow (5 hours for our round). The fairways had recently been sanded due to the winter prep but we’re still in decent shape. The restaurant had just reopened today so we were able to get snacks and drinks at the turn. All in all a pretty good day.

We had a 7:20 am tee time, and the course Marshall was on top of getting us out on time. The course was in pretty good shape and the pace of play was decent as we finished in just over 4 hours, with the main choke points at the par 3’s. Overall a good experience and I will definitely be looking to get down there again.

Beautiful weather for a late afternoon tee time at Fairwood. The course is in good condition and they are spacing groups out due to the current pandemic and local restrictions. I feel bad not filling in my divots on the fairways but still no sand, no ball washers, or similar amenities. Staff in the pro shop was very pleasant to talk to.

A buddy and I decided that we wanted to get out and play this weekend and North Shore had openings that fit our schedule. The pro shop had instituted a 2-golfer limit inside it, but we were able to get in and pay without issue. We teed off on time (7:14am tee time) and other than waiting for the group in front of us on the #2 tee box, and the first par-3 (#4) we were able to play our pace and finished our round right on 4 hours. Never had the group behind us on our heels after that, either. Course was in good shape overall. Finally saw the beverage cart as we were walking down the 18th fairway.

Following up on all of the rain early this year we weren’t sure what shape the course would be in. We were pleasantly surprised that there was only a little water on the course, and the greens were rolling much faster than expected. The staff in the pro shop was great and we had good service in the restaurant for drinks and then lunch after the round. We finished our round in just over 4 hours, and other than teeing off on the first hole we didn’t have to wait for the group in front of us. We will be back!

First time on the course in a couple of months. We only saw four other groups the whole time that we were on the course and never had to wait to take a shot. The fairways had been plugged but didn’t appear to have been sanded, and the course was a little wet, but that is to be expected this time of the year especially when it had rained the night/morning before we got on the course. The greens were in great shape for the time of the year. They have covered the driving range and upgraded it, and added concrete steps to walk up to the 16th tee box. Great updates.

After hearing a lot about the Home Course, I had the opportunity to play it. The course was in good condition and the greens were a bit bumpy (some moss/different grass in spots) but otherwise rolling well. We did have backups on some of the par 3’s but the rangers were out ensuring that everyone was sticking to the pace of play. Wide fairways, but the fescue in the rough was difficult if you wandered too far off of the fairways. The weather was fantastic and the views were spectacular. I am looking forward to making it down again for another round soon.

I showed up at around 6am without a tee time and the pro shop was able to get me right on with a twosome that had just tees off. We never had to wait for the group in front of us, so the pace of play was great. Course was in great shape and the greens were rolling well. Never saw a beverage cart which was the only thing that I missed, but this seems to be a trend at courses any more.

For early in the season the course was in good shape. The fairways were fairly dry and while the greens were a work in progress they rolled okay. They are remodeling inside the pro-shop and the restaurant at the course (which has been closed for a long time).

This was my second time golfing at Madrona, and I had a another good experience. As it was a Monday morning, the course was almost empty and I was able to complete my round in just over 2 hours. The staff was helpful and while they had just plugged and sanded the greens, they were in decent shape. Short course, but overall a good value for the money.
